HelpRe: Your all time least favorite classics (No restrictions)

That's really interesting. I didn't know about this custom.
Lots of girls here are Mary Whatever (usually a family surname) but they go by both. No one goes by just Mary though.

Oh I meant they go by the middle name, not their last name :)
Are Mary-Something hyphenated Marys? I always wonder if that's how it works in general. Hyphenated names are non existent in Spanish.

No, these girls have double first names like Mary Helen or Mary Parker or Mary Caroline or Mary Lawson. Their last names are not included. So Mary Lawson's full name would be Mary Lawson Smith, but she'd just go by Mary Lawson.
Usually they aren't hyphenated, but are always double names.
